Top 5: December 2009

December was a surprisingly good month for Canadian Finance Blog. While the traffic was slightly less than November, I was impressed that it came so close with everyone enjoying the holidays in the final week or two. The maximum daily RSS reader count came in at 398… so close to 400 but not quite there. Hoping to hit that milestone any day now!

When I upgraded the site back in November, I was concerned that slight changes to my search engine optimization (SEO) might risk losing my page rank 4. Thankfully I just noticed that the improvements did help and now Google ranks me as a PR 5. While page rank is just a number, a strong rating from Google helps Canadian Finance Blog rank high on searches, bringing in more new readers than any other source.

Thanks to Dual Income No Kids (DINKs) Finance for their guest post, Integrating Finances As A Couple. If anyone else would like to submit a post, please contact me from the site or on Twitter. You don’t have to have a blog, I’m happy to share anyone’s well written perspective on all aspects of personal finance. Of course if you do have a blog, guest posting can be a great way to gain new readers and get some links back to your site!
